Geez I'm bored ..This'll prove it .
Was looking for a particular info sheet for an old car today and looked up colour codes just for Ford and this is what I found ... https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.a...or_company_A-L and https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.a...or_company_M-Z.... Stuff me... I didn't know there were that bloody many Ford Motor Company have used in the past and still needed to be sought. No wonder the term paint matching is not that easy at times when doing resto's .. Whew ... Any stand out favourites you really like that are listed anywhere here . Apologies if a similar thread involving historic colours that has been started in the past which I didn't look too far back for given there are so many hundreds of previous or exhausted threads on AFF ... Cheers . Last edited by roddy1960; 17-04-2020 at 08:39 AM. |

I think there was a thread but photobucket probably ruined it anyway.
Colours are interesting as the body shape makes a big difference to what works with it. Hence why there are no good colours on XF's.  B series wins hands down for modern stuff, but a Wild Plum XA GT sedan does it for me. BTW AU's had lots of deep and metallic colours which I have noticed over the past 10 years have also been popular. Dark metallic reds and brown for example.

There was also a Yellow called Frenzy (sure someone can confirm that).
Was a very nice yellow think on BA mk2s. Am guessing the Envi Mica they talk of is the green on the BA's. was another nice colour. Wonder how many other colours members know of that not listed. |

My XC 1977 paint code 7 Chalet Blue not listed ??. Maybe only Government vehicles. Saw a dried out 1 litre for sale in a genuine ford tin a few years ago.

Well I learnt that Fantasy was the only fancy colour Ford did, there were a few cars painted in Obsession which are quite striking.

Not 100% on this but i suspect it’s the same as Nitrous Blue on the last Focus RS? Even the names are similar. |

Not on any FPV due to paint matching issues after rolling off the production line before going over to the FPV factory.

I desperately wanted one when they first came out but ended up buying an XR6T in Silhouette at the auctions instead. I've actually never bought a car in my first choice colour. I wanted an emerald green (can't remember the official colour) KH laser for my first car. Went to the auctions & there were 2 of those & 2 red ones. I ended up with one of the red ones (because both of the emerald green ones were 1.8 litres that exceeded my budget on the day). I wanted a velocity blue BA XR6 Falcon & bought an XR6T in Silhoutte instead. Being a turbo & considerably cheaper at auction it seemed like much better value. Then after 12 years of driving a black falcon, I wanted a white one & ended up buying one in petroleum (which looks very similar to the black one I previously owned). When I eventually move onto a mustang, one of my goals will be to buy it in whatever my first choice colour is at the time. I'd like to think I could do that on what will be my fourth attempt. Blood Orange was another great colour from the BA Falcon days. There was an XR8 in that colour at the auctions when I bought my XR6T. It certainly stood out!

This one is my current favourite, Teal glow only seen on XY and XA's
 I'm using it as highlights on my bus resto. This was my first attempt to paint it, but It crazed on me because I didn't let the 2k underneath cure properly.  Otherwise Monza Red has always been a favourite.  Cheers, |
